Synopsis

General Zod turns on Rogol Zaar, and is joined by Superman, Supergirl, and Superboy to defeat Zaar. After the battle, the last Kryptonians gather on Thanagar to address representatives of worlds across the galaxy to plead for unity to avoid an intergalactic war. Superboy suggests the formation of the United Planets, and the Legion of Super-Heroes from the 31st Century appear to commemorate the event.
